So it’s been a while sense I’ve done an update blog and man have I got a lot to get off my chest.  I found a copy of Baulders gate for PC in my closet and finally installed it and have only played about 5 minutes of it so will a have impressions some other time.    This month I’ve spent over $200 on games and am glad the rush of big titles is over.  

Left 4 Dead

I tried playing this for the first time on single player, just to get a feel for it.  After 5 minutes I was dead bored playing with the bots  and hoped onto Dead Air campaign with some fellow citizengamers and really had a blast. 

This is going to have to be my co-op game of the year, working with your team mates is essential to survival.  Graphically this game looks just okay, while the character models have the same great art style similar to Team Fortress 2 models. 

The AI director is the real star here, sending waves of enemies at you just as things start to get dull.  The biggest disappointment is the lack of enemy variety and weapon variety.

World of Warcraft 14 day trial

I’ve always wondered what all the fuss has been about world of war craft sense every one and there mums are playing it now.  I had to download three five hour patches before I could enter Azeroth and I got to say I don’t think my 15 hour wait have been justified.

One reason why I was interested in the game was the distinct art style/graphics.  I have always loved Blizzards concept art and graphics and well it really shows in the game.  I’m not a fan of having to find quest locations with out a map marker.  I enjoy getting to a location easily and having a difficult battle but not the other way around. 

I’m currently playing a level 5 Dwarf Hunter named Glasgo who’s not to shabby with an axe and while that’s all fine and dandy I’m sick of killing goblins and boar.  I really cant stand the steep learning curve (even though there’s a help option) and don’t like the feeling of being dropped into a game and feeling like I’m blind folded.     

LOST

I rented Season 1 from my local library and have to admit even thou I was skeptical I freakin love this show! I love how every episode leaves me with unanswered questions and mystery.  I find it very annoying how ever that they almost completely ignore the other 48 characters yet its understandable.  I’m currently watching season 2 on fancast.com, every episode to date in crisp and clear HD….as long as you have good internet connection. 

So that’s pretty much what I’ve been upto for the past 2 weeks.  I’ve had massive amounts of school work so havnt been able to get on XBL a lot but with thanksgiving break coming up I should have some more free time to game.  I’m probably going to have enough time to finish up my PC gaming editorial that iv been ranting on and on about.   

 

   

So tomorrow Left 4 Dead is being  released and if you didn't pre-load it (like me) your a fool.  I really cant wait to fight off hordes of zombies with friends over steam,so add me to your friends list if your picking this up (or play TF2 or DOD:source).  I'm also almost done with my World at War review which is taking me longer than i expected because of all the school work etc,I'm also currently working on a PC editorial (more in the coming days).  Take it easy guys -Jason

I picked up Call of Duty:World at War box set that included the movie Enemy at the Gates.  I'll be writing up a review for citizengame.co.uk .  If you have a copy hit me up on XBL and we'll play some adversarial or co-op. 

   
   

  













































So i bought Gears of War 2 yesterday and was expecting the same experience  as its predecessor and in a sense
i was right up till the end of chapter one .......then it all changed.  For one the scale is much larger than the original
were the mentality that  the original had was "o here's one bad ass enemy,enjoy"  but the  know its more like "oh, you remember that one bad ass enemy ,well lets time that by three." 
    There is was also a major overhaul in the graphics department which truly shows every second of the game.  There are still a few texture pop in's especially in multiplayer but its still one hell of a great looking game.


Bullet Points
 Pro's(+)
-Great graphics.
-Bigger,badder and more bad ass has been accomplished.
-New weapons and grenades are a welcome addition to the already perfect arsenal.
-Horde mode is a must play.
-Multiplayer is better than ever,wing man and submission are going to be keeping me busy for months.
-New enemies and characters are a great addition to the stellar cast of characters. 

Con's(-)
-The story still is not a justified reason to play the campaign (campaign is still good).
-Occasional pop ins should not be there.
-Lag during multiplayer.
-Poor match making (takes up to 5 minutes to get connected when not in a party.


    Now from 2 o'clock till 4 oclock i had the most fun i've ever had on xbox live with members from the Giantbomb and Citizengame.co.uk community members.  Special thanks to Dannyodwyer for setting up the tournament.  Shout outs to GearHead,Tru3_Blu3,Dboy  and a drunken Denis Walsh, I had a great time chatting with you guys(while chainsawing you to death).  Hopefully we'll have more game nights in the future and more memorable games in the coming weeks.  Later-Jason Krieger
